The WORLD NEEDS WOMEN NOW!The Time to Act is Now - Click hereThe time has come for something special and good tohappen in the world. Do we, the people, wait for it tohappen or do we make it happen. Usually changecomes from a disaster. We must not wait for a disaster. We must act now. Therefore, to stop violence and war,promote nonviolence, and to unite the people of theworld to work together for humanity, the time has comefor women to RISE-UP!UNTIL WOMEN UNITE as the PEACEMAKERS,there will be no Peace! (See letter to Naomi Klein)The following is a plan to enlist non-governmentalWOMEN LEADERS to be the leaders of aGandhi / King-like people movement called aGlobal Movement of Nonviolence, For the Children(GMofNV). A GMofNV is designed to begin immediately! All the“mechanisms are in place” and the “catalyst” toimplement the plan is prepared! A GMofNV will beimplemented by an initiative to empower womeneverywhere called aCALL to WOMEN, a World-Wide Unity Campaign(C2W)Women Leaders will ask women to be the first to unite!The world is becoming more and more divided andviolent and that is why women, the best representativesof nonviolence possible, are needed to show that thereis another way to resolve conflict! A GMofNV and aC2W are not just for women, it is for everyoneas the Civil Rights movement in the United States wasfor everyone. What makes a CALL to WOMEN and a GMofNV differentfrom other movements is that they will be promotingSTOPPING WAR and at the same time ILLUSTRATERESPECT and GENUINE CARING for peopleeverywhere, working together to help others, forHUMANITY -- beginning with the children!The success is predicated on women leaders takingthe lead. It will be shown that once the women leadersjoin, the women (and men) will follow, the media willfollow, and millions of dollars can be raised – power against power!Specific plans are designed for the WOMEN LEADERS to:• Enlist all the MAYORS (or community leaders in every village, town,

and city),

• Enlist all the RELIGIONS,• Enlist the WEALTHY,• Create a GLOBAL PHILANTHROPIC FOUNDATION,• Reach out to MEN,

and most importantly

• Implement new GLOBAL PEACE NEGOTIATIONS, led by women to

Defuse Conflicts.

The key is to get a movement started! The time has come to enlist specific women leaders. Their function will be to first, enlist the TEAM, a “Council of Women” that will be the spokespersons for the movement. The Council of Women would then enlist all the women leaders from around the world to promote and issue a CALL to WOMEN!The first women leaders enlisted are vital. The WOMEN LEADERS recommended are:Marianne Williamson – Author and Spiritual LeaderAlice Walker – Author and ActivistGloria Steinem – the Face of Women,Leymah Gbowee – Nobel Peace LaureateTHESE WOMEN have the ability to MOVE MOUNTAINS! They would be asked to enlist the full contingent of Women Nobel Peace Laureates, who then enlist women leaders from around the world, a “chain reaction” where leaders, women and men, enlist their whole movements! The grassroot organizations everywhere have started from the ground up. Now it is time to tie them all together! WOMEN LEADERS will ANNOUNCE1. WOMEN of the world are UNITING AS THE PEACEMAKERS2. WE are starting the largest PEACE MOVEMENT the world has ever

seen to COINCIDE with the largest ENVIRONMENTAL MOVEMENT the world has ever seen

3. The PEOPLE in every country are going to influence their own

governments, all at the same time, to STOP WAR and VIOLENCE

The beginning date is tentatively set for

JUNE 21, 2018

Time for Women to take a POLITICAL VOICE and ATTAIN POLITICAL CLOUT. THEREFORE:• WOMEN LEADERS are going to Issue a CALL to WOMEN (C2W)• WOMEN everywhere will be asked to promote a GMofNV• The MAYORS and Community Leaders everywhere will be asked to

Sometimes in life an unexpected opportunity arises when one has to make an important decision. This is one of those times. A FULL STRATEGY to enlist the leaders and begin the movement is prepared. Women leaders must come together and announce the movement to properly market a GMofNV before it begins on June 21st. If war was coming the peoplewould mobilize within two days. Now we have two months to put the leadership team and prepare the announcement in JANUARY OF 2017. Once the movement is announced, the leaders will deliver demands anddeadlines and the people will be informed of specific tactics of resistance,organizing, AND the constructive tools for working together! IN ONE STEP, BY RISING UP to STOP WAR and VIOLENCE, women can help to bring about social, economic, and political paradigm change! Thetime is now. The key is for people to "Commit to Nonviolence." Excellent programs as a guide are prepared (Campaign Nonviolence & the Metta Center RoadMap,and the Global Marshall Plan and ESRA).The WOMEN LEADERS are busy. Plans are prepared to “provide the means” for the WOMEN LEADERS for administration, funding, marketing, implementation, and follow-up. THE WOMEN LEADERS of the Council of Women must devote time to make decisions – Determine the Demands, Fund Distribution, Oath, Declaration, Proclamation, be the SPOKESPERSONS, Make Announcements, Promote Dates, Network, and Publicize the Movement.Recently, the Environmental Movement promoted a global initiative to influence governments to protect the environment. NOW is the PERFECT TIME to implement a new PEACE MOVEMENT to coincide with the Environmental Movement – each to strengthen each other and promote each other.IN CONCLUSION, The time has come for WOMEN to RISE-UP. It is up to the WOMEN LEADERS to make it happen and save the WORLD! To unite the people and the movements, two main common elements were found. The first is nonviolence. The people everywhere do not want violence! The second is the children. The people in every country want their children to grow up in a safe and healthy environment.The children are the motivation for each segment of a GMofNV – mobilization, conflict resolution, reconciliation, and working together as human beings. The world needs it now, “For the Children” of today and the children of the future! All the elements are aligned now! It won’t be easy and there will be risks. The intricacies are complex, but there is simplicity in setting it in motion. The key is getting it started!These plans will not solve all the immediate problems, but it will set a direction and an avenue for people to work together for long term goals. The people will be promoting a new narrative of committing to nonviolence and committing to working together for humanity – helping others. This narrative is the vital component to change the consciousness of the people of the world. It will be difficult to mobilize this year because in the United States, with the presidential campaigning, the people are occupied, but the movement is foreveryone and the U.S. must be part of the mobilization. Gandhi said about nonviolence, “First they ignore you, then they laugh atyou, then they fight you, then you win. I have gone through the first three. It’s time to win! Sister Joan Chittister, September 11th, 2004, at the Omega / V DayConference: “Women and Power, Our Time to Lead” said, “The lives of our children, the protection of millions, the hopes of all humankind, wait again now for women, from opposite cultures, opposite tradition, to step over the line of political hatred to save them.” The time has come for WOMEN to RISE-UP.We have to thinkBIG. The time is here for people to UNITE EVERYWHERE!Women taking a voice to “defuse” the most crucial conflicts,will give women a voice in every issue and the supporters of a GMofNV will also gain political clout. This task will not be easy. There will be sacrifice and suffering.Women must take a politicalvoice to change the world

The opportunity is at our FINGERTIPS to change the world,if we choose to.Peace and Love,Andre Sheldon

More Inside

The whole world must unify over acommon cause:the children.

When the world focuses on the children with programs directlyproviding food and shelter, as an umbrellafor all issues, paradigm change will occur.

Paradigm change requires a "catalyst."A Global Strategy of Nonviolence calls upon the Women of the Worldto "mobilize" and create the largest, nonviolent peace movementthe world has ever seen!

Who will lead?
